ANFA Women's League

The ANFA Women's League (Nepali: एन्फा महिला लिग), previously known as National Women's League, is the top division of professional women's club football organized by the All Nepal Football Association in Nepal. APF FC has been the most successful club in the history of the competition, winning it seven times.

History

The top-tier women’s football competition in Nepal began in 1998 under the name Mayor's Cup Women's Football Championship Shield, emphasizing its nationwide scope and grassroots inclusivity. The inaugural edition saw Kathmandu Metropolitan City crowned champions, and in the early 2000s district clubs like Morang FA, Bara FA, and Panchthar FA dominated the scene, reflecting the growing enthusiasm for women’s football.

In 2010, ANFA confirmed the participation of five development region clubs, and the league was renamed to National Women's League. The league’s profile rose significantly with the entry of APF, Nepal Police and Tribhuvan Army, which brought structure and professionalism. Among them, APF emerged as a powerhouse winning seven titles, including a streak of four consecutive championships from 2017 to 2024. Although the league was suspended due to the COVID-19 pandemic, it resumed in 2021.

Following the 2024 season, the league was officially rebranded as the ANFA Women’s League, marking a new chapter in its institutional identity and aligning it more closely with ANFA’s development strategy.
